Strength training for cyclists, Sydney
Cycling builds a lot of fitness and very little bone or upper-body strength. The gym work is there to cover what the bike cannot.
What the programme covers
Lower-body strength and power for the part of the pedal stroke that actually produces force, trunk and upper-body work to hold a position over a long ride, and off-bike loading for bone, which matters more in a sport that never puts any impact through you.
Position and comfort
Where discomfort on the bike is coming from a strength or mobility limitation rather than the fit, that is worth addressing directly. Plenty of positions that are unsustainable in March are perfectly sustainable in June with the right work behind them.
Programmed around your season
Heavier blocks where the racing allows, maintenance where it does not, and a taper that arrives on time.
